About Tropan XL 5 Tablet
Tropan XL 5 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called anti-spasmodic, and anti-cholinergic agents used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, dysuria (painful or difficult urination). Additionally, Tropan XL 5 Tablet is used to treat night-time bed-wetting in children above 5 years when other treatments have not worked.
Tropan XL 5 Tablet contains 'Oxybutynin', which works by blocking the release of a chemical transmitter called acetylcholine, responsible for bladder muscle contractions.
